The estimation and the prediction of municipal solid waste generation play an important role in solid waste management. PPI has developed a reliable model for calculating and subsequently predicting the aggregate impact of economic trends, population changes, and recycling impact on solid waste generation.

The waste characterisation and generation study is conducted on sample preparation based on quarter coning technique as recommended by Japan International Cooperation Agency.

The Waste Characterization Study do provide an estimation of total solid waste generation and its characteristics, quantities of recyclable materials (cardboard, paper, plastics, metals, aluminium, glass, inert material etc. in the waste stream.

Furthermore, the quantities of waste into different types is worked out i.e., biodegradable and non-biodegradable; recyclable, compostable and inter materials; combustible and non-combustible materials.

Assessment of quantity and characterization of solid waste projections for 30 years.

Review of current and planned private sector interventions, including the activities of the informal private sector.

Technical analysis and identification of institutional, regulatory and physical improvement options, in particular, to allow the option of private sector participation in the SWM services.

Consultations with stakeholder, government, civil society, scavengers and the private sector to reach a consensus on priority sector actions.

Formulation of ISWM plans for the City Administration which includes, a strategic development framework, recommendation for infrastructure and service improvement, an indicative implementation schedule, cost estimates with financing plan, human resource development, participation of private sector in ISWM service delivery etc.

F: Selection of Site for Construction of Sanitary Landfills

PPI has investigated and identify potential sites for construction of sanitary landfills in Pakistan.

Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency has prepared (draft) guidelines for Solid Waste Management in Pakistan which also contains guidelines on solid waste disposal and landfill establishments. Similarly, the Sindh Devolved Social Services Program, Government of Sindh has prepared guidelines for the identification and establishment of a Landfill site at TMA/District Level, Sindh, Pakistan.

All the potential site selection are considered against the established criteria for construction of sanitary landfills in Pakistan:

PPI has experience in preparation of preliminary engineering design of ISWM system which includes details of infrastructure including storage, collection, transportation, proposed treatment and disposal options. The preliminary cost shall include:

The preliminary design do meet internationally recognized standards of engineering and environmental protection after the finalization of proposed treatment and disposal options.

An Initial Environmental Examination shall be carried out for the selected treatment and disposal sites in accordance with the requirements of existing applicable environmental laws in Pakistan, addressing all environmental issues associated with the construction of the proposed facilities.

We have carried out Following Projects:
